The prestigious Golden Raspberry Awards
Hey there—I just want to salute your dedication to the Razzies and bad movies. :) tregoweth 06:20, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Why did you move the stub template to before the external-links section? Stubs always go at the end. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:19, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
The AID
Do you want to run the AID? If you do, just say the world and it's yours. I updated the History section (I listed you in front of me as 'Dept. Management'), but otherwise you appear to have done what was neccesary to maintain the weekly rollover. Nice job. -Litefantastic 22:52, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
Pro Wrestling WikiProject
Hello Darkstorm2k6, would you like to join the Pro Wrestling WikiProject?
Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 21% for major edits and 45% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 71 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 11:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
{{FACfailed}}
Please don't put this on pages that never have been FACs. You may notice that for practically all of them, there is no "sup-page." If you want to learn more about FACs go to WP:FAC. Thank you. GizzaChat © 12:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- All of the pages in which I'm putting that template are in the 2003-04 nominations archive, so while they don't have their own subpage, they are indeed former candidates. MarcK 12:34, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. GizzaChat © 03:56, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
DiZ
I see you added "Darkness in Zero" to the opening paragraph's parenthesis in the DiZ article... I'm not sure if that's appropriate. You see, that parenthesis is saying what the Katakana says, and isn't a place for other names. Wouldn't it be better to have it mentioned a little later, as the basis for the name? He isn't called Darkness in Zero, after all - that's just how he made his name. So at some point it should just mention that DiZ stands for Darkness in Zero. In fact, I think it already does... -JC 10:06, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
PLEASE ASSIST, WRESTLING FANS OF WIKIPEDIA

Villa Capra
Which part specifically of [1] do you feel if translated would improve Villa Capra "La Rotonda" - the expansive bibliography perhaps? Giano | talk 21:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's not that; I just feel if an article is featured on another Wikipedia and not here it's worth noting on the talk page and categorically, as per WP:FAOL. MarcK 21:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
ROH shows
A suggestion and a request:
1 - Create redirects to the shows that are just the event name without the "ROH:" prefix. I think it's pretty safe to assume someone is more likely to type in Honor Invades Boston than ROH: Honor Invades Boston
2 - Might you perhaps spiffy up my Survival of the Fittest article to bring it more line with the other show articles? I just noticed your ROH articles tonight, very good work.
Tromboneguy0186 04:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- If you haven't noticed, some of the articles now have PROD's on them. I'm starting to wonder if anything ever WON'T be deleted. Tromboneguy0186 03:52, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
NPOV on The Ron White Show

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Adrenalynn (film), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

ROH World Tag Team Championship / ROH World Championship
I change them back because the WK:PW page, the section about how to list championships, has nothing to back up your changes, with the exception of listing the names of the show. Also, some of the stuff you put doesn't provide the information it should, or it is flat out wrong. Let’s start at the top:
- You leave out the fact that AJ Styles had to win a tag team scramble match by himself earlier in the night just to earn a shot at ROH Tag Team Championships at Expect the Unexpected.
- You say “Vacated on September 6, 2003 when Red is injured”, which looks like Red was injured on Sep. 6 when his injuries happened prior.
- You say “Won a tag team gauntlet match, also involving Special K members Izzy & Dixie, Hydro & Angel Dust, The Carnage Crew, The Ring Crew Express and the Briscoe Brothers” which looks like Special K only had one team in the gauntlet match.
- You don’t list Dan Maff and BJ Whitmer as The Prophecy for their first title win, despite the fact that they were still apart of The Prophecy.
- You don’t say which of the three members of the Second City Saints won the ROH Tag Team Titles for the second run.
- You say “The previous three title changes were part of a Round Robin Challenge for the Tag Team Championship”, when the were the Round Robin Challenge was not for the titles but to see who the better team was.
- You list Ricky Reyes and Rocky Romero as “The Havana Pitbulls”, when they were always introduced (while champions) as The Rottweilers.
- You put "Title vacated when Maff leaves the company", when a) Dan Maff was forced out of the company when ROH had to chose between Homicide and Maff, and b) ROH kayfabed it by saying he retired from wrestling as a result of a car crash. Also, WP:WK that if titles are vacated to list them in the notes section.
- You say that Jimmy Jacobs and BJ Whitmer “defeated Jay Lethal & Samoa Joe in a decision match”, meaning they had a match and ROH decided they should be champions instead of defeating Jay Lethal and Samoa Joe to win the vacated titles, which they did.
- You list Liverpool, England as “Liverpool, EN” when EN is not an abbreviation for England.
- Finally, if you look on the discussion page you will see that ROH World Tag Team Champions is not affiliated with WikiProject: Professional Wrestling, so what they say technically has no bearing here.
Now, off of that subject and into another: ROH World Championship. You keep removing that the title was defended in Japan. Here is the Newswire from ROH that says it will be defended in Japan, a report from ROHwrestling.com that says the title was defended in Japan, and ROH’s Title History page also saying it was defended in Japan. And if we go to Pro Wrestling NOAH’s webpage (the English one) we see: a statement saying the ROH World Championship was defended in Japan, and the results of the show also stating that the ROH World Championship was defended in Japan.PepsiPlunge 22:01, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Auto update
Is it just me, or did Alex (whatever his name is) not really help anything with the title pages? We still have to update the pages, so should re just go back to how it was before? TJ Spyke 01:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I'm a new user and noticed that (I believe) you wrote the Monsta Mack article. Did you write the article originally, or did you just edit it? -YeLLeY511 22:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Masatotanakafiresword.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Masatotanakafiresword.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image:Katsuhiko_Nakajima.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Katsuhiko_Nakajima.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 11:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:A_Perfect_Vacuum.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:A_Perfect_Vacuum.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Quiet Storm (wrestler)
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Quiet Storm (wrestler), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Postcard Cathy 19:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I can see that you've recently become involved with the WP:FLC process and I can see that you too are unsure on what to do with this list. The last time it was up for FLC, I failed the list for not having a consensus, but I feel that I should not fail it twice in case the one who nominated the list sees this and says something about it. Currently, there's at least one oppose that hasn't been dealt with, so I am leaning towards failing the list, especially since it's been up since May 18. What are your opinions on the list, and do you believe that it should fail this time too?--十八 01:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I have added a bunch of notes to the page and I was wondering if you could possibly help me out with it as I will be quite busy over the next couple of days. Just so you know, it will be very hard to find easily sourceable notes for the early champions as they don't have sections at the WWE title history. -- Scorpion0422 02:55, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Update: I have added as many notes as the official title history would allow. I hope that is enough for you to support the article. -- Scorpion0422 01:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Main article
The WP:PW discussion seems to have died (It's actually about something important, so most aren't interested), but I was thinking we could create a List of World Wrestling Entertainment championships that could serve as an FT main page. We could list both active and inactive titles and I think it would fit the topic. If it doesn't, we could split it up and make a List of active championships page. Actually, I'm kind of surprised that there isn't already a list of WWE championships. -- Scorpion0422 15:08, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oakster has been working on a list here and I think it looks pretty good. -- Scorpion0422 14:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- Your page looks very good but I was thinking it should be more of a list than an article. The infoboxes looks very good, perhaps that could be adapted for use on the main championship pages. -- Scorpion0422 19:43, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. -- Scorpion0422 19:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Why did my nomination fail?
I'm sorry but I don't get it. Why did my nomination of List of drafted Frölunda HC players fail? It had a three to one vote in support. Is there a limit to how many supports one nomination must have? Because I consider three times as many supports to oppose, a rather large majority. --Krm500 10:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

WP:FLC/List of Teen Titans episodes
Why did you close this one? Based on what rationale? (may I ask?) It's rather unwise to fail something with no opposition just because not enough people have bothered to look at the article and comment on/support it. Why didn't you consider giving it more time to see if anyone would come up with a real reason to oppose? Sorry to bother you, but, well, that's just my opinion. Peacent 03:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Oh thanks, of course I will create a second nom presently. Peacent 03:58, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry
...about my above message. It was cold, and rude, um, sorry, I've been grounded, and was in a bad mood at that time. I guess I was rather disappointed to see that failed nomination. It was like the last straw, yeah... There's no excuse for my discourtesy, I know, you were acting rightly. In any case, I just wanted to drop by and apologize, that's all. Have a nice weekend, MarcK.

Katsuhiko Nakajima
I noticed that you added Katsuhiko Nakajima as a good article candidate. I looked over the page and made some small edits per various manuals of style (dates, numbers, etc.). I also noticed that the finishing and signature moves are located in both a list and a table. I would choose one and delete the other, as having them twice is pretty redundant and a reviewer is likely to frown on it. Other than that...it looks pretty good. Good luck. I hope it passes.

FL Main page proposal
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

LOTD proposal
You have nominated a recent WP:FLC. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient for the main page. WP:LOTDP is a new proposal to try to get the ball rolling based on the original proposal. Voice your thoughts on its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling related article. The next article for collaboration will be chosen on Sunday, November 18. From the Editor
Welcome to the inaugural edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday. This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a project news section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a current events section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement. That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at this talk page.

Featured List of the Day Experiment
I am contacting individuals in the order of the number of featured lists that they had created by Novemeber 10, 2007. You are among those who have created the most. So you are among the first. There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the second issue of the WP:PW newsletter. We apologize for the delay. There was an issue regarding the delivery process. Anyways, we had a lot of good feedback for the last newsletter. We not only received feedback at the newsletter's talk page, but I also received some messages on my talk page as well. Thank you to those who responded. The only complaint we received was about typos, and we will try our best to keep the newsletter error-free. Please continue to offer feedback and new ideas for the next issue. The more we have, the more we'll know how to improve the newsletter. Again, thanks! Contributors to this Issue:

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Saturn3.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Saturn3.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
